Members' Sales

That's an excellent idea! Enquiries along the lines of "how do I remove the body from the chassis for ..." crop up quite frequently.

Are things like chassis dimensions within this remit? You mention PDFs but are there any thoughts on other material such as videos of disassembly that members may care to make?

We could certainly link out to Youtube videos if people want to make them available to us. We wouldn't hold the videos on the website as they are very heavy consumers of bandwidth and storage, Google has much more of both than we have :)

That's what I was thinking. If anyone was willing and able to make such videos but didn't want them on general release outside the group it is possible not to have them listed or come up in searches in YouTube. I know of another group that has quite a lot of material in that form. It can only be seen if the viewer has the actual link which works so long as members do not share the link with others outside the group.

That's a great idea, Graeme. I'm wondering whether it needs central organisation, though, and a 'How to...' thread on the forum where people could post instructional videos (as links) themselves would be less hassle and more democratic?

Over to you (or someone else)!

You may well find that Garry Whiting has a good collection of instructions from older items that are no longer in production.
I recommend you contact him direct about this.

Not nearly as many as you would think, and with no scanner and currently no access to any photocopying facility , I doubt I can be much help at present.

the Society does have a Youtube channel (I believe)

SOCIETY SALES ARE REOPENING!

With the start of the easing of restrictions from next week we are delighted that the Society Sales Service will be resuming from this Friday, 5th March. We will be happy to receive orders again whether by letter, email or via the online 'shop' which will also be live again from that day.

As you will appreciate, there will still be some restraints on us (like packing out of doors!) so please be patient if service is not quite as seamless and speedy as normal, though as restrictions are eased further we hope to be back to a full service before too long.

Our priority next week will be to dispatch the few orders which have fallen victim to lockdown and been trapped in the system for a couple of months now, together with any new orders received from Friday onwards.

There is plenty of stock to browse online with plenty more which will go on sale once we are able to resume cataloguing and pricing. New stocks of Society kits are also arriving this week and we hope the Hudson coach will appear again quite soon – check kit availability on the website.

The Sales Team.

I want to buy an item from the shop but I can't find how to add it to my basket, am I being thick?

Otty · March 06, 2021, 09:36

I have just ordered some RNAD kits that are now back in stock. Very happy. Thanks to all involved.

Thanks Iain, all sorted now!

The Sales Team · March 10, 2021, 15:21

Just an update - a good number of packages finally went to Her Majesty's mails today and the backlog of orders (up to yesterday) has now been cleared, so watch out for the postperson over the next day or two if you think something should be coming your way.

Again, our apologies and thanks for your patience if you've had a long wait to receive your order.

You need to have a look at the NG crossing SG thread, there's someone on there who's having a little difficulty with the online sales set-up if his posts are anything to go by! (Last two pages!) Perhaps you could contact him direct!
